1 Includes all households whose members own or use at home a desktop or laptop; smartphone; tablet or other portable wireless computer; or some other type of computer.

2 Includes all households whose members access the Internet at home by paying a cell phone company or internet service provider--that is, households whose members access the internet using a cellular data plan for a smartphone or other mobile device; broadband (high speed) internet service installed in the household such as cable, fiber optic, or DSL; satellite internet service installed in the household; dial-up internet service installed in the household; or some other service. Excludes households that reported home internet use without paying a cell phone company or internet service provider.

NOTE: Data in this table are from the American Community Survey (ACS) and may differ from those shown in tables based on the Current Population Survey (CPS). Although the ACS conducts sample surveys of the entire population residing within the United States, this table includes only the population living in households; it excludes persons living in institutionalized group quarters (e.g., prisons or nursing facilities) and those living in noninstitutionalized group quarters (e.g., college or military housing). Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
